    Has anyone had any expectance with a BMW GS 1150 Adventurer after changing
    the under seat fuel mapping plug and going from PULP to ULP. I was wondering
    does the kilometres per litre of fuel lessen? If so by how much? Can anyone
    tell me how many k's they are getting to their 30lt tank? at what kind of
    speed and what kind of road surfacers?

    I am hoping to under take a 'outback' trip, and have a 550km no fuel stage.
    Although 'Morgan and Wacker' has told me I would get 600km to a tank I'm not
    seeing it. Might have to do with the speeds I've been doing. The off road
    riding would be at a slower pace but would be harder going.

    Thanks if you can help.

    At legal speeds the Fitch Fuel Catalyst drop-ins have given me an extra
    10mpg on my 95 cube twin cam. try www.selectcyclesupplies.com.au
